En Fuego Chili Verde image

Here is a great recipe for a chili that has no beans but a wonderful, smoky flavor. Serve with rice or warm tortillas. Add some diced avocado and sour cream for a full meal. This recipe is courtesy of Dan Blair and is the first recipe from a weekly recipe club I joined at work.

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 whole white onions, chopped
8 -10 garlic cloves
1 teaspoon epazote (Native Mexican spice, you can substitute Marjoram)
4 -5 lbs pork shoulder, cut into one-inch cubes
8 fresh poblano chiles
3 jalapenos, seeded and chopped
3 jalapenos, with seeds, chopped
3 cups chicken broth
12 whole tomatillos, roasted and pureed in blender. (Canned Tomatillos or Tomatillo salsa works here too.)
1 teaspoon ground cumin
sea salt

Steps:

  • Roast poblano chilies over an open flame or a BBQ until skins turn black. Put in a plastic bag and seal to steam. After 15 minutes remove skins and seeds; chop into small pieces and set aside.

  • Heat onions and garlic in a large (5 qt) Dutch oven until shiny.
  • Add epazote and jalapenos stir until heated through.
  • Add pork, cumin, tomatillos and two cups of chicken broth.
  • Cook covered on low for two hours, adding broth as needed. (Don't add too much, it will be too thin.
  • The last 30 minutes, add poblanos.
  • Salt and pepper to taste.
  • The longer it cooks on low the better it is.
  • Serve by itself with warm buttered tortillas or over rice.
  • Great the next day.
